Cyclotron Spokeless Bike

Trending News: This Is The Most Futuristic Bike You've Ever Seen

Why Is This Important?

Because it's a spokeless, self-charging smartbike that shoots out its own laser lanes — the future of cycling is here!

Long Story Short

Coming off an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign, the Cyclotron takes everything that sucks about cycling and replaces it with something better. The first models will ship to supporters in June 2017.

Long Story

Take a moment to remember the first bike you ever rode. Those childhood moments rushing outside after breakfast, hopping on your first bike with relentless determination in pursuit to master two-wheel freedom in the name of shenanigans?

I sure do. As a child, bike riding was life between cartoons and street hockey and Nintendo and super soaker fights. And for many of us, our first bike was the vehicle that carried us through many unforgettable milestones. Even into adulthood, many people prefer to use their bikes for fitness.

Fast forward back to today, and while it's safe to say kids will always build great memories on their bikes, coaster brakes and slipped chains are unlikely to be part of the equation for much longer. This is Cyclotron, hands down the most technically advanced smartbike the world has ever seen, trumpeted as “the next big step in the evolution of cycling." They aren't wrong!

Designed by France-based creative Sina Deuker and her team of Cyclotron engineers, the process itself took over three years to develop, moving from its pen-and-paper concept to its revolutionary model we see today. Her “bike of the future” is now close to closing over 15 patents and made more than double its $56,000 goal on Kickstarter.

It's definitely an exciting time for cyclists and revolutionary models like Cyclotron have everyone on pins and needles. Just look at the thing! I mean, check the specs:

Airless and spokeless tires that act like utility modules, perfect for off-the-cuff munchie runs to the grocery store.

Integrated smartlights with self-charging li-ion battery, a game changer in rider visibility featuring flashing laser lane projectors and lights lasting up to 8-hours.

Double edge "wing man" and child seat add-ons, convenient for riders who cruise with family and in groups on the road.

Fully-integrated modern design, being the first fully-integrated bike with no cables, no wires or external components like a chain that show and much more.

The Cyclotron officially has set a new benchmark and bicycle milestone for cyclists. Right now the "bike of the future" is currently in its startup phase, selling 12-speed models for as low as €899 ($989) and 18-speed models for as low as €1299 ($1,429) on Kickstarter, an impressive price for a bike light years ahead of its time. It's not cheap, and it's obviously not up to racing or trail specs, but you can spend a lot more on a conventional road bike.
